Weekly Obsession!

OMG WEEKLY OBSESSIONS ARE BACK!!!!!  I love doing this series because I'm ALWAYS discovering new things so I figured why not share it with all of you.  We can be obsessed together!  Today's weekly obsession....invisibobble!!!  I know I'm totally late to the game.  If you don't know what these are they are a hair tie that doesn't pull or leave marks in hair.  I have really thick hair so I was SURE these wouldn't hold my hair at all.  My friend made me try it and I was so shocked!!  My hair was damp so I put in a bun and IT STAYED!!!!  You guys need to try them especially if you have thick hair.  You can buy them anywhere but I picked mine up from Ulta.  There are multiple colors as well.  The only negative is they cost $9 for a set of 3.  What are you guys loving right now?

I'M BACK!!!

It feels SO good to be writing this!  I AM BACK!!!!!  I haven't posted in almost a year but I finally feel ready.  I really just needed time to figure everything out.  Don't worry I'll tell you guys all about it soon.  This is mostly just an announcement post but I have LOTS of content and ideas coming.  I should probably tell you what to look forward to since I've been away for FOREVER.  We'll be talking about music, fashion, makeup, food, and so much more!  My first "official" post will be a 50 question get to know me.  It will going up on Monday.  I plan on posting 2-3 times a week.  I don't want to put too much pressure on myself.  If you have anything you want me to post about then you can email me or tweet me.  I'm always open to suggestions!  I'm really excited to start this new adventure and be blogging again!

Trying My First Natural Hair Products

I love trying new hair products.  I've suffered from dandruff my whole life so I'm always looking for ways to help it.  When Maple Holistics reached out to me asking me if I wanted to try their tea tree shampoo and conditioner.  I immediately said yes.  I've been testing them out for about two months now.  I have a lot of thoughts so lets get into it.

First of all I love the packaging.  Most natural products seem boring but I like how they really focus on how it looks.  The first thing I did was smell it.  I HATE how tea tree oil smells but this smells amazing!  The lavender overpowers the tea tree scent which I really appreciate.  I also love the price.  Most natural products are insanely expensive but the shampoo is $8 and the conditioner is $12.  That is a HUGE bonus!

Let's talk about how it worked for me.  I loved it!  My dandruff cleared up after about 3 washes which is great.  The only problem I had was that it didn't lather up.  It made me feel like it wasn't cleaning my hair even though it was.  Overall I definitely recommend it!  The coolest thing about Maple Holistics is the free sample program.  Just click here and fill out the form.  It's that easy!  They have bath products, oils, and a bunch of other natural products.  Go check them out!

Weekly Obsession

I'm back!!!!!!  Things have finally calmed down so I can get back to posting more.  I've really missed sharing what I've been obsessing over.  So that is where I'm going to begin!  My weekly obsession is....German Chocolate Bars.  The brand Choceur is my favorite by far though.  A friend bought me a pack and it's already gone!  I literally got it on Monday.  They taste like fancy kit kats which I'm totally fine with.  They are also individually wrapped which I love.  I'm pretty sure you can buy these at Whole Foods.  I need to buy like 20 more packs!  I highly recommend it!!!  What are you loving?

Ipsy Unboxing: February

It's that time again...it's time to open my monthly ipsy bag!!!  I've been subscribed since August and I'm still excited every time.  I did a post like this a few months ago but I didn't love how it turned out.  So hopefully you can let me know what you want to see.  If you want to see swacthes or individual pictures of the products let me know.  I'm going to link to every product so if you are interested in it then you can buy it right away.  Enjoy!

The Bag:

In case you don't know what ipsy is here is a quick description.  Every month you are sent 5 random beauty products in a makeup bag.  I usually love the bag but this month really let me down!  This month's bag was a denim material with a neon orange border.  I wanted pink or hearts because of Valentine's Day!  Maybe I would have loved it more in a different month.

The Products:

Nyx Professional Makeup Butter Lipstick in Lifeguard

I don't like using red lipstick because I'm so pale.  This is really nice though.  The color isn't too bold which I like.  It is super lightweight and feels like butter going on.  I couldn't believe how smooth it was!  You really can't go wrong with Nyx.

LAW Beauty Essentials Nail Polish in Leave A Text

I always love getting nail polish because I had to redo my collection.  This color is darkish gray and the coverage is amazing!  You really only need one coat.  It is also vegan and toxic free which is always a good thing.

IBY Beauty Highlighter in Bubbly

I love this product!  It's so versatile and a gorgeous peachy shade.  You can use it as a highlighter, eye shadow, and even on your lips!  It just makes everything so glowy and I really love the name.

BelláPierre Cosmetics Volumelash Waterproof Mascara

This is a huge mascara package and I love how bright it is.  It's super easy to find in your makeup that's for sure.  I haven't tried this out yet.  The brush is really flexible though so it can really separate your lashes so they look full.

Biobelle #iwokeuplikethis

I'm OBSESSED with this brand and I'm very happy I got two sheet masks.  This one is a skin brightening mask that has vitamin C in it.  It really does work and it makes your skin super soft.  I highly recommend this brand.

Biobelle #StayGorgeous

I haven't tried this sheet mask yet but I'm sure I'll love it.  This one is for moisturizing your skin.  It has almond oil and vitamin E in it which you rub into your skin after you take the mask off.  This perfect for winter!

My January Playlist!

I feel like I've been waiting FOREVER to write this post!  This month has been fast but slow all at the same time.  I've barely posted but I finally have my schedule all figured out.  That means you'll be seeing a lot more posts from me.  I didn't have a playlist last month because it was all Christmas music.  That is why I'm excited to share this with you!  I'm OBSESSED with every song and it's pretty much all I've listened to.  It's the perfect mixture of songs.  What songs are you loving?


1. I Don't Wanna Live Forever by ZAYN and Taylor Swift
Favorite lyric: I'm sittin' eyes wide open and I got one thing stuck in my mind Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life Baby, baby, I feel crazy Up all night, all night and every day I gave you something, but you gave me nothing What is happening to me?

2. Do It Again by Pia Mia
Favorite lyric: It was nice to, nice to know ya, let's do it again How we did it on a one night stand Boy, I wanna be more than a friend to ya Nice to, nice to know ya, let's do it again How we did it on a one night stand Boy, I wanna be more than a friend to ya Let's do it again

What I Got For Christmas 2016!!

I am finally back!!!  I took time away from blogging for the holidays.  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.  I sure did!  It was SUPER busy but that is what makes it so fun.  Every year I watch What I Got For Christmas videos on YouTube.  I just find it so interesting and fun.  Last year I did a post sharing what I got and you guys seemed to like it.  So here is this years What I Got For Christmas post!  What was your favorite gift?

First up my little sister got me this snowglobe.  I actually collect them so I was very happy.  It is super beautiful and glittery which fits my personality perfectly! I love that it says the year as well.

She also bought me this olive bomber patch jacket.  I love this!!!!  It is really comfortable and the inside is bright orange.  It is the perfect addition to my wardrobe and jacket collection.

From my mom I got these pajamas.  I wore these all day on Christmas and I just love them.  The pants are like leggings which is what I basically live in.  I will honestly wear these all year!

She also bought me a bunch of these solar powered dancing toys.  I am obsessed with these!  I probably own 20 and will definitely buy more.

My friend bought me hot pink sequin uggs!!!  I was SO shocked!  I've never owned a real pair so I'm very happy and grateful.

Last but not least, my older sister got me some sheet masks and an Ulta gift card.  I've been dying to try some sheet masks.  Also I pretty much spend all my money at Ulta so it is perfect for me!

Book Haul

Winter is my favorite time to read.  I just find it so relaxing during all the hustle and bustle.  Plus what a better to spend a snowy night.  So I recently decided to buy some new books.  It's been awhile since I did a haul so I thought this would be the perfect time.  Maybe you will discover some new books.  I will link to a summary so nothing gets ruined.  What books are you loving?  Let me know!

First up is Girl Online Going Solo by Zoe Sugg.  This is the third and final book in the series.  I just love Zoe so of course I had to have the book.  I'm currently reading the second one so I can't wait to read this.  For a summary click here.

This is Two By Two by Nicholas Sparks.  I mean do I really have to explain???  His books are my obsession!  I have read every single book.  This one looks like a total tearjerker just by looking at the cover.  For a summary click here.

This is Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert.  I can't say too much about this but if you want to find out the secret make sure you follow my blog.  It will be revealed next week!  For a summary click here.

This is Bloom: Navigating Life And Style by Estee Lolonde.  I love Estee SO much!!  She is probably my favorite Youtuber so when she announced her book I immediately bought it.  I can't wait to read this.   For a summary click here.

Lastly is Good As Gone by Amy Gentry.  I had heard nothing about this book until I stumbled on it.  It was compared to Gone Girl which is one of my favorite books.  Plus this cover just draws me in for some reason.  For a summary click here.

Weekly Obsession!

Sorry I took a break again!  I'm back now I promise!  I love sharing my obsessions with you so don't worry.  My weekly obsession is........Yes To Coconut Ultra Hydrating Facial Mask!!!!!!!!  When I have a stressful week I love to pamper myself.  This is perfect for that!  I just started getting into skin care and I can't get enough.  Before applying this I used a facial scrub to remove any dirt or dead skin.  This mask really makes your skin feel extremely smooth.  It's very affordable as well which is always nice.  I love pretty much anything coconut currently so I knew I would love this.  My skin still feels soft after 4 days.  It's amazing!!!!  Tell me some masks you love and maybe I'll try them.

Quiz Tuesday: Are You More Lauren Conrad Or Heidi Montag?

Happy Tuesday!!!!  I'm determined to make this week a great one.  So I'm back with a quiz!  I'm very excited for this one.  Today's quiz is called Are You More Lauren Conrad Or Heidi Montag?  I am obsessed with The Hills!  I watched every single episode and I still do honestly.  I think I know who I will get but we'll see.  You can take the quiz with me right here.  Share your results below!

I got Lauren Conrad!  The description says You’re more like Lauren! You have a heart of gold and always know the perfect thing to say in any given situation. Your pals value your friendship and know that they can always come to you for advice. Your fashion sense is top-notch AND you’ve got some major entrepreneurial skills in you. Plus, YOU KNOW WHAT SHE DID.

I knew I would get Lauren!  We are very similar.  Plus I just love her!

My New Christmas Tree!

Last week was insane and crazy!  Hopefully this week will be MUCH better.  Even with all the craziness I still managed to put my tree up.  I was pretty excited because this year I got a new tree.  I had a small desk tree that was probably a foot tall.  My sister decided to get a new tree so I took hers.  I thought I would share my tree with you all.  My posts will be back to normal this week.  Enjoy!

♥My November Ipsy Bag♥

I never thought I would sign up for any monthly subscription bags or boxes.  I just never saw the point.  Finally two of my friends convinced me to try Ipsy.  I am now obsessed!!!  I've been getting bags since August but I finally decided to share what I get.  If you don't know what Ipsy is then let me explain.  For $10 a month you get a bag with 5 beauty products.  The bag equals around $50-$60 worth of products so that's an amazing deal.  When you sign up you take a beauty test so your bag is customized for you.  It comes every month and you can cancel anytime.  Let's see what is in my bag!

Let's start with the bag.  Every month is a new design and I'm in love this one!  You will either get silver or gold constellations.  I think the gold looks better though.  It is slightly metallic which I love.  The zipper is also a gold star.

This is the Adesse New York Brightening Base Coat.  You put this on before painting your nails or just use it on it's own.  It prevents your nails from being yellow it also makes your polish last longer.  It is also cruelty free.  I'm very excited to try this product.

This is the Luxie Rose Gold Small Duo Fiber Brush 524T.  This brush is SUPER  soft!  It can be used with powders, creams, or liquids.  It's easy to blend with and it is great for sensitive skin.  Plus who wouldn't want this adorable brush in their collection?

This is the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream.  This is for anti-aging.  You put this on your face after you've washed your face in the mornings.  I'm not sure if I will use this or not.  I might give it to my mom but you never know.  It's never too early to work on anti-aging and wrinkles.

This is the STARLOOKS Cream Eye Shadow in Rose Gold.  I've never used a cream shadow before but I really like it.  You can also use it as a liner.  It is metallic which I love.  It is very long lasting and very blendable.

Last up is the theBalm Cosmetics Mad Lash Mascara.  I love this!!  Mascaras are my favorite product anyway.  The wand is curved to really give your lashes volume.  It grabs every single lash.  This is also a cruelty free product.

Overall, I loved this month's bag.  It had a nice range of products which I like.  Also the bag design won me over.  My favorite product is probably the base coat because I constantly have my nails painted.  Do you get an Ipsy bag?  If so, what was your favorite product?

Weekly Obsession!

I'm SO glad that I have been keeping up with these posts.  Be prepared though because once the holidays happen most of my obsessions will probably be food related.  I'm very excited for my obsession this week.  My weekly obsession is......Beauty And The Beast!!!!!!!  This is honestly one of my favorite Disney films.  I watched it all the time as a kid.  When I heard they were going to make it into a live action version I just couldn't picture it.  Then when Emma Watson was cast as Belle I was SO upset!  She looks nothing like Belle!!!!  At that point I decided I wasn't going to see the film.  Then the trailer was released and I lost my mind!  It looks AMAZING!!!!  They really stayed true to the original film which made me very happy.  Emma Watson was really transformed and beast looked fantastic!  I'll leave the trailer below.  It comes out in March and I can't wait!!!!  Fun fact: My mom and I are actually going to see the play in May or June so will definitely let you guys know how it is.  What are you currently loving?  Let me know!

Weekly Obsession!

It's been a crazy busy day today which is why this post is late.  I didn't forget though!  My weekly obsession is.....Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray!!!!!!!  First of all I LOVE this brand.  I own a couple of their other products and they are fantastic.  I bought this spray in summer and never got a chance to use it.  Now that I cut my hair I use it pretty much daily.  You can put on wet or dry hair which is perfect.  It really does make your hair look like you spent the day in the ocean.  It also smells SO good!  It's a really affordable product.  I paid $6 which is what other products in this brand are as well.  You won't regret checking this out!!!  What are you loving?

Weekly Obsession!

It's been FOREVER since I've shared an obsession!  I promise I'll be back to normal.  My weekly obsession is........Best Fiends!!!  I've seen pretty much everybody on YouTube promoting this game.  After hearing about it SO much I decided to check it out.  I'm OBSESSED!!!!!!!!!!  I play it for at least 2 hours every day.  Basically you have different bugs that are certain colors.  Also each bug has a special quality.  You match the colors to attack the slugs.  It's really hard to explain but trust me it's addicting.  Go check it out!  What are you guys loving?  Let me know!!

Weekly Obsession!

It's been awhile since I've shared an obsession.  Don't worry I'm back!  My weekly obsession is...Watermelon Lemonade body spray!!  To be honest I've been loving the entire range from Bath and Body Works.  I was drawn in by the packaging because it's super girly and cute.  Also I wanted a nice summer smell.  I immediately purchased the soap, spray, and lotion without even smelling it.  I'm SO glad I did!  It's obviously fruity but also refreshing.  It isn't super sweet which is nice.  I just can't get enough!!!  What are you loving?

I Met Luke Bryan!!!!!!

I've been keeping a secret from you guys!!  Last week a friend of mine got us tickets to Luke Bryan.  We also got meet and greet passes which had me FREAKING out!!!!!  If you don't know who he is then you are missing out.  He is a country singer and a total hottie.  I've never done a meet and greet but it goes pretty quick.  He signed my shirt and my pass.  Then we took a picture together and that's it.  The concert was AMAZING!!!!  He can really move his hips and all the girls were dying!  My favorite songs were Play It Again, Strip It Down, I Don't Want This Night To End, and Home Alone Tonight.  He also covered Can't Feel My Face by The Weeknd.  I was really good!  What's your favorite Luke Bryan song?

Jerica
